Title: Mini Fruit Pizzas
Ingredients:
– 1 roll of pre-made sugar cookie dough
– 4 oz cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup powdered sugar
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Assorted fresh fruits (such as strawberries, kiwi, blueberries, and oranges), washed and chopped
– 1/4 cup apricot preserves
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Slice the sugar cookie dough into 1/4-inch discs and place them on the baking sheet, making sure to leave some space between each cookie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Once the sugar cookies have cooled, spread a dollop of the cream cheese mixture on top of each cookie, leaving a small border around the edges.
5. Arrange the chopped fresh fruits on top of the cream cheese layer in a colorful pattern. Get creative with your designs!
6. In a small saucepan, heat the apricot preserves over low heat until melted and smooth. Using a pastry brush, gently brush the melted preserves over the fresh fruit to give them a glossy finish.
7. Refrigerate the Mini Fruit Pizzas for about 30 minutes to allow the cream cheese mixture to set and the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve your Mini Fruit Pizzas on a platter and watch as they disappear in no time. These little gems are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
